What happens when you name a child as beneficiary to an IRA?

With non-spouse beneficiaries, your retirement plan assets will be included in the federally taxable value of your estate. This results in estate tax liability when you pass away (unlike leaving the assets to a spouse, which allows you to take advantage of the unlimited marital deduction). IRAs have provisions for naming children as beneficiaries.

What happens if your estate is the beneficiary of an IRA?

Can a inherited IRA be set up for a beneficiary?

IRS says no, it does not. When the estate inherits, a properly titled inherited IRA is set up for the estate.
